Lads just a quick question...

On play.com it says that fight night round 3 and GRAW are available to buy NOW!!!

Isn't this a mistake or something?

Well, unlike highstreet shops Play.com have a tendancy to ship games as soon as they arrive at their warehouse, it's not unusual for them to ship games a day or two before release since it'll be release day by the time the delivery arrived with the customer anyway.

So Fight Night isn't too surprising, GRAW isn't due for 2 weeks though. But it has gone gold and I guess if they got it early they could have started shipping it. I'm not sure how they get away with it because publishers tend to be fairly harsh on any normal shops who break release date, maybe it's some loophole of being based in Jersey...

Is there any way to contacts the guys there to confirm this?

Well if you really need to the phone number on their website(bottom of the page) is usually easy to get through to quickly and their very helpful, its an international call though. I doubt you'd get a reply by email too quickly.

But if they say its shipping now on the website, I'd believe them.

Yep. Jersey actually exists outside time and space.

According to their site Ghost Recon is due out this Friday, so they would be shipping it now. You wouldn't get it until next Monday the earliest if your ordered it now anyway.

Slim to none. Usually takes about 5 working days.

Not a mofo'ing chance.

I'm waiting on a reply to an email I sent them to see when its being released.

JacoStanley

I ordered mine last night and it's at the packing stage. Never ordered off play before so how far into the process is this?

monkeyfudge

I had stuff shipped from play the saturday before last and it still hasn't arrived.

The delays are mostly due to our own poor postal service though.

Kinetic^

This is what I just received, basically means no you're not getting it this friday.

Dear Keyser,

Thank you for the email.

Whilst we do endeavour to dispatch pre-orders so that they are received on the date of release, unfortunately we cannot avoid occasional delays passed on from our suppliers.

However, it is also very possible that we will receive stock early, in which case orders may be received by you ahead of the scheduled date of release.

You will not be charged for this item until the time of shipping. You still have the option to cancel the order by logging into your account and pressing the cancel button next to the item in your outstanding orders.

We hope that this information answers your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if you have any further questions.

Kind regards

Email Support Team
